JACKSONVILLE – He ran, he smiled, he worked and he danced.
Not only did Travis Hunter do those things Saturday, Jaguars fans got a chance to watch him do them. That made a very warm afternoon at the Miller Electric Center a pretty cool afternoon, too.
And that all made Day 2 of 2025 Jaguars rookie minicamp a memorable day.
"The energy has been good," Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said.
Coen, speaking after the second of two practices at this weekend's minicamp, discussed multiple issues – and spoke mostly of a good start and a positive energy in what is essentially a chance for the 29-member rookie class to begin learning the NFL.
Hunter, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft and perhaps the biggest rookie story in Jaguars history, also spoke to the media after the hour-and-15-minute session – discussing the excitement around a non-padded, non-contact practice attended by 2,000 fans.
"It has been a blessing, having fans come out here and check us out," Hunter said. "It has been a blessing to come out here with the guys and just come out here and work every day, try to get better. It definitely feels real. It's hot. I love it."
Coen called Saturday's atmosphere "awesome."
"I thank the fans and everybody for putting this on within the organization," Coen said. "It's great to have the fan base out here. You could feel the energy from the fans and they (the players) were obviously gassed up to have the people around."
